I do love my children and grandchildren.  Even though sometimes they drive me crazy.  But that is life, right.  I like being the granny who babysits the grans whenever needed.  I like letting the grans do whatever they want, within reason.  Even when they leave my house looking like a disaster area I don't feel like clearing. Not just one room but every room.

They can surprise you once in a while.  One of these times, I let them stay the night.  Put them to bed and went to bed myself. The next morning, I woke to all my towels folded and put away.  The living room, which is a favorite place to play, was picked up and navigable. The dining room table, their fort, cleared of toys.  I was surprised.

They will probably continue to surprise me the rest of my life. But that is life!
